MORMON TREACHERY.
Gainesville Couiant.

Gainesville Couiant.
Eight working (for their relig-
ion) Mormon elders arrived in
Chattanooga last week, who CON-
meuced operations at once in the
section surrounding in working
up converts. Apropos of the
presence Of these apostles it would
not be amiss to give the expert
ence of James Bevell, of Pavola
county, Miss, who became con-
vert Of Mormonism, and after SELL
ing his farm, left with his wife
and three children for the land of
Mormonisln, in Colorado. Hear
his experience: On the 2ad of
March the Beyelis, with 200 9TH
ers, started for a Mormon settle
ment at Manasa, in the San Louis
ley, Colorado. They left the
warm spring time and blossoming
of the North Mississippi, and
found winter and sn0@ storms in
Colorado Instead oc tn, prom
ised hospitality they found no
provision made for them. The
new corners who had money or
could get it left the place at once.
The Beyells prepared to return
home, bnt were persuaded to so
to Arizona, where they we're told
that the cline would salt them.
Bad as they had found Colorado,
Arizona WAS immeasurably worse.
The extremes of cold aud heat,
the sand storms, the want of build
ing material, and, most of oil, the
character of the people, made
poor Bevell and his wife sick at
heert.
The Mormon Bishop, Layton,
wealthy man, owned the only grist
mill, and his invariable rule was
to take one half of the grist as
toll. The chief consideration
that led the Bevells to go to Nor
mondom, was the promise OF good
schools; but the schools both
in Colorado and Arizona
we're found unfit to send child
rem to, because OF the influ-
ence of evil. Bevell determined
to start back TO Mississippi. He
arrived in Kansas City with SIT,
and will be assisted to reach his
former home.
SIT has been dear trip for me-"
said Bevell, "but I'll stop good
deal of immigration the Mormons
hoped to get from my section.
They don't practice what they
preach. They arc the most un-
geLerous people l ever got
among"

Makes .TustIee Wcep.

A Western city comes 10 the
front with case that is enough to.
make justice weep An inebriats
was tried for manslaughtsr. The
defense was insanity from alcohol.
The jury brought in ! verdict OF
guilty. A new trial was granted
on the ground that two OF the ;u-
rors were SO much intoxicated as
not to be able to decide on the YER
dict It was also alleged that all
the Jurors drankand that they had
several frae fights in the jury
room. At the close of the second
trial one OF the Jurors had an at
tack OF delirium tremens, and
rushed for the Judge to whip him.
Another trial was granted aud the
jury brought in q verdict OF
guilty but not responsible"
This was not accepted and then
the jury disagreed. The case was
then taken to another court, where
the plea of guilt@ was made, and
the Judge sentenced the inebriate
to Imprisonment for life and in-
flicted heavy fine upon him.
Another trial is now asked on the
ground of the intoxication of the
Judge.

Make Them Work.

The most important lesson ever
taught child, is the lesson of
self-support. Iuaeed child
knows nothing till this lesson hos
been practically solved. Iudivid-
uality, in the sense Of self-action,
is the ineffaceaole mark God de-
signed to be placed upon every
child of man. tits an exchange
able law Of mans nature, that oil,
that every one shall work.
This lesson OF self-relianoe
should begin long before the child
can speak and whatever the child
itself can do should not be done
for it. When it begins to walk,
for instance, if it falls, let it lie
there till 1t shall have exhausted
all of its own strength and skill
in an effort to rise, before you Of
fer your assistance. The lesson
just here is, make the child be-
lievc and feel that it can take care
OF itself.
And make your child work from
the day it is able to do anything,
and let there be no idle periods in
its life.
We are not aggressive, there
fore not progressive, because more
than one half of our people have
not been taught to workand many
of those who have, have always
lone it in perfunctory and half
hearted way.
How sad our heart, when we
see a hoy running loose about the
streets or wandering over the
fields or wool, asking the devil
"What shall | do nexv?"

He Made the Rooster Set.

The rooster gender of the fowl
family never assists the old hen
in the tedious and confirming pro-
cess of, incubating, but an ex-
change tells how Thomas O'Shea,
near Danbury, Conn, who owned
two hens aud a rooster, forced the
rooster to perform the functions
Of a setting hen in an emergency.
Early in the spring the hens
wanted to set and he let them set.
One died on the nest, and Thomas,
discovering it before the eggs
were cold, put them in a basket
and put the rooster on the eggs
and fastened him there. He fed
and watered him without letting
him quit the nest, and 10 due time
from the fifteen eggs thirteen
chickens appeared. 1air father
seems proud of them and takes
good care Of his family.

There is a rumor afoat that
bustles are soon to be abandoned
and clinging Greek draperies
adopted. 1t is to be hoped that
this report, which, by the way,
comes direct from Paris, rests
upon a substantial basis, for,
while SO severe q style of dress as
the Grecian is not becoming to all
nineteenth century femme forms,
it is safe to give it precedence
over the hustle, which is becom-
ing to no human being under the
sur, and can never, by any pro-
cess of ingenuity, be made TO lend
itself to aught approaching grace.
